- 64 how 56 stay 36 was 25 your
- 64 how 56 stay 36 was your 25
- There will be no such step
- None of these
Correct Option: D
In the first step, the largest number comes to the first position and the remaining line shift rightward. In the next step the word that comes first in the alphabetical order goes on to occupy the second position pushing the rest of the shift rightward. This goes alternately till all the number are arranged in a descending order and all the words in alphabetical at alternate positions.
Input: how was your stay 56 25 36 64
Step I: 64 how was your stay 56 25 36
Step II: 64 how 56 was your stay 25 36
Step III: 64 how 56 stay was your 25 36
Step IV: 64 how 56 stay 36 was your 25
Step V: 64 how 56 stay 36 was 25 your
Since the line gets fully arranged in step V there will be no step VI
